Section 394.440 - Information and expert witnesses to be provided by other state agencies; consultation with experts outside State Government1. The Administrator may request from any department, division, board, bureau, commission or other agency of the State, and the latter agency shall provide at no cost, any information which it possesses or expert witnesses whom it employs that will enable the Administrator to exercise properly his or her powers and perform his or her duties. If the witness or information is requested to aid the Commission in deciding whether to issue or renew a license or to allow a postsecondary educational institution to add new programs or degrees, the Administrator may require the institution making the application to pay to the witness the per diem allowance and travel expenses allowed for state officers and employees generally.2. If no agency of the State possesses the information or expert knowledge which the Commission finds is necessary to a determination of whether an applicant for the issuance or renewal of a license has complied with the minimum standards prescribed by the Commission pursuant to law, the Commission may consult with persons outside State Government who have the requisite expert knowledge, and may require that the necessary cost of such consultation be paid by the institution whose application is under consideration.Added to NRS by 1975, 1510; A 1979, 699, 1630; 1985, 994Added to NRS by 1975, 1510; A 1979, 699, 1630; 1985, 994
